Four stories. Four lives interrupted by love that refuses to stay finished.
A man carries a ring in his pocket for eleven days, waiting for the right moment - until the moment runs out. A woman leaves a photograph hidden in a book at a library sale, certain no one will find it. A woman in Louisiana buys an antique writing desk and discovers a letter inside from a stranger in Montana. Two people give up every memory of each other in order to save one life - and then have to find their way back.
The Answer Was Yes is a collection of four literary love stories about loss, longing, and what remains when love is interrupted. Quiet, precise, and deeply felt, these stories ask what we carry, what we leave behind, and whether love - even unfinished love - is ever truly lost.
